And yet you dare say it’s unclear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over there, Gu Wu was somewhat nervous. He hadn’t seen Gu Youyou for many years, and didn’t expect her to have become much sharper since her days in Lotus Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was elusive and enigmatic, both intelligent and unknowable, her demeanor and appearance were somehow reminiscent of the Lin Family daughter from back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming, he told himself he must drag Gu Youyou down insistently believing she was his illegitimate daughter, but now encountering her in person, he felt a sense of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always felt that getting involved with Gu Youyou wouldn’t end well, fearing it’d be worse than being a beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime Minister Zhang nudged the stunned Gu Wu, signaling it was time for him to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wu snapped out of it, hurriedly saying: \"Oh, it’s like this, Youyou was too young at that time and didn’t understand things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, perhaps she has already forgotten.\" Prime Minister Zhang echoed in agreement with Gu Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wu forced a laugh: \"Yes, at that time Youyou was only six or seven years old, the night I had a fierce argument with my brother and sister-in-law, she was asleep and didn’t hear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, one moment saying he didn’t hear, the next saying she was asleep, keep making up stories, continue the fabrication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou watched them with a knowing yet ambiguous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime Minister Zhang said: \"Well, now you know. Princess Ning, this is your biological father, he now seeks your protection, and I have helped arrange for him to be brought to your estate, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Gu Youyou chuckled softly: \"Then let him stay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime Minister Zhang and Gu Wu were both dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Say that again?\" Prime Minister Zhang could hardly believe his ears, thinking he misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wu was even more flustered, bewildered on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is Gu Youyou? She’s the one who wouldn’t even tolerate a tiny loss when holding a dustpan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware of how difficult it was to converse with her. He knew clearly Gu Youyou wouldn’t acknowledge him easily; he planned to leverage public pressure to force her compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But yet, none of those tactics had been employed, not even one, and she... agreed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou smiled politely: \"Then let him stay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they couldn’t trust their ears, they had no choice but to believe it; Gu Youyou was so accommodating, agreeing to keep Gu Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the goal was achieved, somehow, for Prime Minister Zhang, it brought no sense of accomplishment; it felt like punching into cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou smiled and said: \"Prime Minister Zhang, now you have no business here, right? See the guest out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So finally, Xiang Chun, who had been standing at the gate holding a kitchen knife had a purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t decide whether to hold the knife or not, realizing there wasn’t enough time to put it back as the princess herself had come out; she could only take that kitchen knife and see the guest out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one fierce-looking maid carrying a kitchen knife to escort guests out frightened Prime Minister Zhang considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Gu Wu had already been left behind, and Prime Minister Zhang ought to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wu remained bewildered in the living room, shortly after Prime Minister Zhang left, two guards came in, before he could react, they pulled him up and dragged him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rough action finally awakened him, seeing the stern-faced guards, he finally realized something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would wonder, given Gu Youyou’s nature, how could she possibly accept him? No, this was all a trap; she must be planning to use private punishment against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wu was gripped with fear only now, nearly losing half his life, he shouted: \"No, I won’t go, help, I’m not leaving, Prime Minister Zhang, I want to find Prime Minister Zhang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime Minister Zhang had already left the estate, his hope to find Prime Minister Zhang was destined to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>",680,"2026-06-06T06:55:14.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","16e7194b64e6f9bdcadd8147126962f67254d6a60358c5694ce763638214c167","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1617","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1615",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
